SUMMARY:*Connected  to Local Economies w/Michael H. Shuman
DESCRIPTION: \nVillage Vancouver is pleased to be a Sponsor of this 
 evening with Michael H. Shuman.\nWhat makes a thriving economy that bu
 ilds connections between people and the places they live?\nPlease join
  us for an engaging and interactive evening with economist, attorney, 
 and award-winning author MICHAEL H. SHUMAN. Mr. Shuman will share his 
 thoughts on economic development as practiced today, and will set out 
 an alternative set of principles and practices involving a local livin
 g economies approach that focuses on local business and an entrepreneu
 rial ecosystem that supports them.\nAfter the presentation, The Design
  Nerds will lead the audience through a nerd jam! The audience will br
 eaks into teams of 6 – 8 people and tackle ten different economic de
 sign challenges. A Design Nerd Jam is a tried tested and true method f
 or collaborative brainstorming and innovation. The cornerstone of the 
 process is Collaborative Rapid Idea Generation, Participant Empowermen
 t and Fun!\n“Many people have critically examined economics on the b
 asis of social outcomes, inequality, climate change and so on. But on
 ly Michael Shuman has examined two different approaches: 'attract and
  retain' versus 'local living economy' on the basis of jobs, wealth an
 d competitiveness. Better still, Michael Shuman has taken great care t
 o present in a way that speaks to the concerns of real people. With h
 is somewhat quirky sense of humour, Michael will present compelling da
 ta, great examples, & a crisp framework for building local living econ
 omies.” Nicole Chaland, Program Director, SFU’s Certificate Progr
